20-year-old Fiji Water Flying Fijians halfback Philip Baselala is expecting a tough match against the Wallabies this season, however, he says getting named in the 23-member team will be a dream come true.
Baselala joined the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua for the 2025 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific season and has made his name in the halfback position after taking over from Frank Lomani and Peni Matawalu.
Baselala says he is grateful to be named in the 32-member Flying Fijians squad that will play against the Wallabies and Scotland this month.

He says one main challenge for him is overcoming injuries.
He adds he is looking forward to the match against the two quality sides.
